DESCRIPTION:Aug 13-29\, 2026\nThe directors of the Zurcher Theatre Spektake
 l recently announced that they were updating the festival’s decades-long
  commitment to making the arts accessible to everyone as well as reflectiv
 e of everyone—to “social diversity\,” in a phrase. So the inclusion 
 of\, say\, Galactic Crush 2: Into the Cold\, the Beiruti exiles Stephanie 
 Kayal and Abed Kobeissy’s delicately mordant space opera about being adr
 ift in the galaxy\, didn’t come as a surprise\, though what a gratifying
 ly unlikely form they have given their parable! But that the Spektakel is 
 counting kids—and their bedraggled parents—as part of this new “ever
 yone” is unusual for festival fare. The underage offerings are plentiful
 \, free\, and appropriately short. They’re also geared to what matters t
 o kids. Rage\, for example\, in the gleefully tantrumy Anger Management\, 
 or the chaos that ensues when you are only trying to follow adults’ inco
 mprehensible rules (Gugus). There are lessons in how “the knee bone is c
 onnected to the thigh bone” via hip-hop moves (Spare Parts)\, and the gr
 avity of climate change delivered through circus (T’es rien sans la terr
 e). Finally\, no gender-curious teen (nor their obedient parents) should m
 iss Di/Strauss Technique\, in which the brilliant\, comic\, slyly heart-pi
 ercing performance artist Ivo Dimchev channels “a queer operetta guru wi
 th ambitions of becoming a Club Med fitness instructor.”
